Sorry I never got a chance to hang out with you guys while I was home. I ended up camping on the WA coast and Olympic Peninsula for 3 days, and that rocked but it ate up pretty much all of my free time. I'll try to catch up to you guys in December when I have more time off. In the meantime, keep kicking the shins of the squatters on Hawthorne for me.
Alright we will
I'll spatchcock a hipster for ya.

Last time I was on Hawthorne, I couldn't help noticing that it has morphed into Not A Cool Neighborhood. It's now a middle-aged shopping mecca full of fat townies.

That does sound preferable to hanging out with forum denizens, I can't blame you.

that's actually the same crowd that's always been hanging out on Hawthorne, they just haven't aged well. Besides, all the people that are too cool to care about being cool know that Foster-Powell is where it's at.

Perfect as long as the people who are too cool to care about being cool have money to spend on pastries and coffee, since I have a friend with a bakery in that neighborhood.
is it the indescribably good but hard to pronounce one with the vietnamese-sounding name? Because that place is fucking AMAZING. Sometimes I buy a baguette on my way by and can't even wait until I get home where the butter is. Other awesome businesses on Foster: The best gun store this side of Maine, Devil's Point (I don't care if it's "hip", they have goddamn FIRE DANCING STRIPPERS), the Slingshot Lounge (my favorite dive in PDX), the place right near the corner with Powell that has all kinds of used records and VHS tapes and stuff, Meticon Bikes (the absolute LEAST snobby bike shop in the city), and fucking FOSTER BURGER.

I don't remember what it's called, but it's around 60th. The owner is Kate.
I don't make it over to Foster much because, like most Portlanders, I don't like to leave my quadrant. It feels wrong out there.
I did walk home from Division the other morning. I'm hoping Mr. Language will move to NE because SE is SO FAR AWAY. It takes nearly 20 MINUTES to drive to his house from mine. Unacceptable!
Huh. The only place I almost never go is SW. It doesn't make any sense to me yet.
I don't like it when outsiders come around slumming in my quadrant, either. They ought to stay in their own neighborhoods, damn foreigners! :argh!:

Well, yeah.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to go there. Luckily, those kind almost always stay on their side, because our "grid system" confuses them.
I've only ever been through to get to PCC Sylvania. When I was scooting there without gloves. In the winter.
I don't have very fond memories.

Oh christ.
I took some classes out there, and the evening of one of my finals the bus slid off the road into a ditch. We all had to get out and walk, and then when I got there the final had been canceled. I had to wait in the dark, in the snow, for two hours for another bus.
I hate SW.
It should be kicked out. We could probably figure out a new quadrant system that didn't include them.

We already have one too many quadrants, anyway.

NE/SE/SW/NW
Oh, is North the fifth?
I'm still kinda new. :(

Yes, N is the 5th quadrant. So we can totally afford to boot SW.

No.
You'll have to cut one loose and let it go downstream.
This is what I'm saying. We can give it to Tigard.
Make sure to put all your old people on it, like the Inuit.
Can we put the weeaboos on with them?

Glomping. Inspired, I just went and watched two minutes of "glomp" compilations on youtube.
Now I'm calming myself by imagining what it would be like to push them all out of a seventh story window.

Not only should it be kicked out, but it should be forcibly annexed by West Linn or Tualatin or some other terrible place like that.

Sure we do.
Then we go mess with Sasquatch, fuck with Wu Tang, pull on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pull the mask of the old lone ranger, and finally we mess around with Jim.
Actually, we mess around with Slim, who successfully messed around with Jim.
LEARN 2 CROCE.
See you December then.
I'd take the coast over PDX also. December it is then.
Telarus are you on the coast?
Penumbral: right next to all the water.
I will be frolicking in the Bay Area for all of late December—do you know what part of the month you're going to be here?
Our current contract ends on December 18th, so I'll probably be flying home on the 19th or 20th, then heading to Maine for christmas, then either back to PDX or down to STT for New Year's.
Cool. I'm leaving on the 25th due to the utter lack of traffic so I should be able to meet up.
This is good, I can further prepare shenanigans in the interim...

Naw, PDX for me (west side). I grew up in hawaii, tho (thus my preference).
Edit: Yay! Shenanigans!
Is there actual human habitation on the west side of the Willamette?
Barely. I live dangerously close to the 'black hole of Nike'*. But we don't have to deal with the PDX school-administration drama directly as the schools here are in the next county over from Multnomah.
* - something that may or may not have been announced as a transit stop late one night.
